Vague Hate Speech Definition Chills Innovation

The definition uses subjective terms like "negative feelings," "hostility," and "attitudes" without clear boundaries, making it impossible for digital platforms and content creators to know what speech is prohibited. The removal of intent requirements means platforms face strict liability for user content, while the explicit inclusion of entertainment content (movies, songs, parodies, satire) directly targets Ghana's growing digital creative economy. This vagueness forces platforms to over-moderate content to avoid liability, increases compliance costs dramatically, and makes Ghana's digital ecosystem less competitive compared to other African tech hubs with clearer regulatory frameworks.
